Tina started her watercolor journey in high school and as a Fine Arts major at Cal Poly in San Luis Obispo, California. She received a Graphic Design degree through the University of California Berkeley Extension. She moved to New Mexico 28years ago and started Young at Art Studios in Corrales, where she teaches drawing, composition, color theory and watercolors. Her students range from ages 10 to 70, and many have won awards for their art, and several have gone on to professional art careers.
She delights in helping her students discover the beauty of watercolor, and teaching also helps inspire her own work and creativity. Tina’s love of design and color is used in her watercolor paintings where she draws from the natural beauty of New Mexico, plants and creatures in her own garden, natural abstracts, farm animals, and life around her. She has loved working with watercolor and fluid acrylic pours and has created a series of gear and mechanical pours that feature her graphic design training through the spaces the gears create and the graphic nature of their placement. With these paintings she can achieve the amazing color blends this process produces so the total of the painting is interesting.
